| I think if they took the first or second game of the origin series around the world it would be great for the games profile.
A double header in the UK with a roses game OR England v last years super league winners in a club v country game could be a launch pad for our own competitive mid season game.

| I would love to see S.O.O at Wembley...can't see O.T would be in the running after "in goal" gate and the steep drop off them, don't think the coaches would except it.
Given the large Oz community in London and competitive pricing for tickets it would be a sell out.
Only problem could be finding a date, June/July is usually concert season at Wembley.

Double header is pointless. It only diminishes the occasion of Origin which can stand on its own. Besides, the curtain raiser would have to be played no later than 11 am (possibly earlier) to work with Australian TV schedules for the Origin game, the BBC and Channel 9 would not care about the curtain raiser, and in any case who will be watching TV or attending a curtain raiser at 11 am or earlier on a Saturday?

| They'd have to play it at a weekend to be viable. But if they could play SOO there it would be great.
We do need also international compeition with England competitive though. As Ray fRench said on TV that is the ONLY way British RL can get the sponsorship and media coverage it needs to flourish.
As to a London club, maybe a super team could be created - with each NRL club giving up two of their star players each season to a London club. Players back to Oz at the end of the year to be replaced by 2 more. Although the club would not have continuity of staff if the players were of high enough calibre they should be able to win / compete strongly each year in SL. That would see London crowds grow in my opinion and attract the Aussies and Kiwis from London.

| It's time the NRL took over the running of the game in the UK. The RFL have failed at elite level. They could be retained to promote the game at grassroot levels.

| Whats the point of this? So the NRL can make more money? Not really a whole lot of use for the Northern Hemisphere game really, just seems to relegate the prestige of SL further.
International tests are far more important than what is a parochial game between two states in Oz coming over here for a gimmick game.
If the NRL want to play a game over here in Wembley, then have a test and build up the international game rather than the NRL brand.

| I'd go watch SOO at Wembley without a doubt. I also don't see how it can detract from the "prestige" of Super League - we all know that the NRL is tem times the competition that SL is.
